Considering ADC is suppose to be a safe secure enviroment, it consistently has abuse,medical and mental health neglect. ADC is used to create jobs for the government by incarcerating non-violent offenders. It lacks control of its employees bringing in contraband for profit and protects them because they don't want to be at fault,it's easier for them to blame contraband and drugs on visitors and family. I do advocacy so am aware of what goes on in the units,despite families complaining about inmate care it is ignored, ADC needs to be cleaned out of old administration and new brought in that is not part of the good ole boy system. Incarcerating drug offenders does not cure the problem,

if a person is sentenced to prison,they should not half to come out owing anything to the state or county, Courts have gotten as money hungry as corporations,fining and imprisoning the poor and mental health people for profit. When more people start placing suites and fighting the corrupt system,results will happen.Debtors prison in Arkansas needs be stopped.

As with any agency that represents the profession they serve favoritism will be to the profession not justice for the plaintiff. You can point out the policies or procedures violated but they will always favor the lawyer first.

Can't wait for election time,Cotton Hutchinson and Ruthledge all need replaced including our state representatives.They have turned this state into a joke,laws more laws,imprisonments.They all are pocket liners,not for the benefit of the people of Arkansas.

ADC is more corrupt than the inmates they house,even men inmates won't complain because of retaliation, they all under go mental and physical abuse. They try blame the inmate contraband on visitors and the mail,when actually guards make alot of money furnishing inmates contraband. The prison system has inadequate mental health service or drug rehab no rehab for people who have had traumatic brain injuries. More law suits need to happen including sueing the state governor. In the courts there is lots of sexual discrimination,if women due same crime as men then should do same time. Majority of inmates are drug offenders,prison suits no purpose for,but the prison system is a big business in Arkansas, I do believe our governor was going to do prison reform. the reform was to imprison more. The USDOJ placed a lawsuit few years ago against Arkansas,for mental health courts,what happened Arkansas only got one. It is not uncommon in ADC for inmates to be beat by guards for having contraband but is kept quiet.

In Arkansas we vote to elect our officials to listen to the people. I have filed complaints about local police and civil right violations from local all the way to our Congress, and either they pass the buck to someone else or don't respond. I find it that it's ok for police in this state to get away with abuse, illegal search's and seizures. Time when election comes to vote for government that listens and responds to the people. So many times in this state the police and prosecutors consistantly go after and arrest the mentally ill or poor and convince them to plea just to get a conviction, knowing that some mentally ill are scared and will do or say what they want because afraid of retaliation.
